I finally ordered a jersey from nflshop, and went with the Earl Thomas Limited. I must say, well done to Nike! These jerseys are amazing. I'll be proudly repping the hawks in this every Sunday down here in Pensacola!

They all fit tight around the shoulders. I went a size up for my limited 12 jersey (a little baggy and long) and stuck with normal sizing with my ET elite (wolf grey, material across the back stretches more comfortably on the elite jersey). Wish I was taller, maybe one of them would fit me correctly then. As it is, I have to go with fits decent enough.

Whew!! Glanced at your post subject just as I was clicking on another thread, so I didn't catch the whole thing. I caught the first part 'Earl Thomas limited..and filled in the rest with 'in practice.' Had to jump back out of the other thread to do a double take! :-) KNOCK ON WOOD!!

I have that same jersey - home 29 Limited. I love it, I love the fit, but I do have a complaint: the numbers. With the "Premiere" Reebok, you got the numbers stitched on, just like on the Nike Limited. But on the Reebok, which was cheaper, the two colors of number each got their own layer of twill. With the new one, you have a twill number that has a green outline, all on the same piece of twill.

Reebok Premiere: notice two layers of twill on the number

Nike Limited: one layer of twill - grey with a green outline

I can't find a small image of the Nike Elite to show here, but it does have the two-layer numbers. I find this one-layer thing very lame. Since the Limited is more expensive than the Premiere, I thought it would be higher quality - or at least comparable. I think the two colors on one layer of twill looks dumb.

Take a closer look at your Reebok premier and you will see that the white stiching is printed on and is not actual thread. The Reebok is also one solid piece of material for the number just like the Nike Limited.

Incorrect. I pulled out my John Carlson Reebok Premier jersey and the numbers are in fact two separate layers of fabric. Looks and feels much better than the gray number with green outline on my Earl Thomas Nike Limited.

Design Star is about interior design and home decorating. You're maybe thinking of Project Runway, which is about designing clothing. I watch both.
